In response to comment #22- AuthorHouse is a SELF PUBLISHING COMPANY. They do not help authors improve their manuscript. They do not market the book. It's a publishing company for people who feel like actually doing the leg-work to make their book a success. So, in other words, if you're looking to partake in a get-rich-quick scheme and think "hmm, self publishing, that'll be easy" and slop together some awful children's book, thinking the public won't know the difference between a good children's book and garbage, then yeah. You'll hate AuthorHouse. If you've spent more than a month writing something you're proud of that can appeal to the public, know anything about marketing and can actually invest your time and money into marketing it, then you'll love this self-publishing company.

People just expect the publisher to carry them through the process and hold their hands until their book is a best seller. Some traditional publishers do. AuthorHouse doesn't. If you're not serious about actually devoting yourself to a quality book and to marketing, then do not choose a SELF PUBLISHING company.
